This is typical of all the governments, fix up the east and screw the west.
I'm sick of this crap, Sydenham needs to be electrified however you never
hear anything about it.  As a regular communter i'm sick of only having one
train every 1hr, or b/w 1pm & 3pm there are no trains, and the last train
leaves the city at 940pm, just great if your going to the footy.

Below is an exact quote from the Bayside website:
"As part of the privatisation franchise, our service will be extended from
St Albans and Sydenham, giving those residents the benefit of metropolitan
train services."

This is a joke, thanks alot Bracks.

Extremely pissed off
